The Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a registered student organization sponsored by the UMass Amherst Alumni Association. Our mission is to connect students and alumni to enhance the UMass experience and foster a spirit of giving back. The money we raise during UMass Gives will go toward a variety of SAA events that promote interaction between students and alumni, increasing student involvement and sense of belonging to the UMass Amherst community, as well as providing advancement opportunities for our student leaders.

- Fund Commencement Ball, a senior tradition to welcome new graduates to the alumni community and to celebrate the accomplishments of UMass seniors.
- Host various networking events to foster relationships between students and alumni
- Facilitate TAG Days (Talk About Giving) and other philanthropy education initiatives for students to learn about the impact of giving on their UMass experience
